That also means I’m making my weeknight menu and need a few quick and easy dinner ideas to get us through. Quick Creamy Cajun Pasta quickly became one of our favorite weeknight meals and I’m sure it will be one of your too!

Pasta and smoked sausage really are the way to start a quick dinner. Smoked sausages are already cooked and pasta is ready in a snap. I like to use up whatever veggies are left in the crisper from the weekend before.

Luckily, Creamy Cajun Pasta only uses a small amount of cream, which I generally have from coffee. Feel free to get crazy and add whatever ingredients you like, all those odds and ends.

I’ve also made creamy cajun pasta in a big batches to freeze and packaged for lunch the next week. It is substantial enough to keep me full without being too heavy.

The spices are delicious and provide a sweet heat, as does the sausage. You can adjust them as you please. Hubby loves things piping spicy, so I usually let him add his own crushed red pepper after the dish is done.

Creamy Cajun Pasta only takes 20 minutes to prepare, so it is the ideal weeknight meal. Smoky andouille sausage with colorful veggies and a decadent Cajun cream sauce make this flavorful and speedy super-dinner!

Even substitute chicken sausage, chicken or shrimp to cater to your family taste.

If your family is like mine and loves pasta dishes, try out some of our other favorites!
